Strong match

Who this is for

  • Lead and backing vocals through a live PA
  • Loud stages where a condenser would feed back

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Studio work needing high detail and air
  • Anyone wanting a wireless mic out of the box
  • Recording quiet acoustic sources at a distance

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Sennheiser e 845 Pro Performance Vocal Microphone construction detail

Detail 01

Dynamic element

No phantom power needed. Handles loud sources without distorting and survives drops better than a condenser.

Detail 02

Handheld vocal design

Built to be gripped and worked close to the lips, where proximity thickens the low end as you move in.

Detail 03

Wired XLR handheld

Needs a mic cable and a preamp or mixer channel. Nothing to charge, nothing to pair, no dropouts.

Detail 04

Black finish

Non-reflective under stage lights and it hides handling marks better than a bright chrome grille.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No XLR cable, clip or stand included in most cases — check before the gig
  2. 02Needs a mixer or preamp channel; it won't plug into a line input
  3. 03Grille and windscreen collect debris; unscrew and rinse the grille periodically

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Does it need phantom power?

No. It's a dynamic microphone, so it works from any standard mic input without phantom power. Leaving phantom on won't harm it either.

02Is this good for recording vocals at home?

It works, but it's built for the stage. A dynamic handheld captures less detail than a studio condenser, though it's far more forgiving of an untreated room.

03Can I use it wirelessly?

Not by itself. It's a wired XLR microphone. Wireless use would require a separate transmitter system.

04What cable do I need?

A standard XLR microphone cable running from the mic to a mixer or preamp channel. Length depends on your stage layout.
